Crashing waves, magnificent sunsets and protection from the wind make Bantry Bay much sought after and, because of its position, an ideal base from which to explore Cape Town!

Fresnaye is situated between Signal Hill and Sea Point, a few kilometer's to the West of Cape Town's Central Business District (CBD).
Fresnaye was originally an Estate just under 1 kilometer squared, purchased early in the 1800s. It belonged to a descendant of the French Huguenots, an aristocratic barrister called Ryk Le Sueur from Bayeux in Normandy. The estate was called; 'Winterslust'. At the time the farmhouse was one of only two buildings on the mountain slopes, that and 'Heeren Huis' near Bantry Bay, which was built in 1776.
